REIMS is a loafer model of the classic Tyrolean shoes “MICHAEL”.
Since REIMS is sewn with thick moccasins like MICHAEL, everything is finished by hand to ensure strong stitching at the base of the instep.
Although they have a thick sole, the opening is deep and finished at a unique angle to prevent the heel from slipping off easily.
There is no other loafer in the world that has such a heavy taste, and it has become widely recognized all over the world as a product that has an American taste but has a French chic.

-Paraboot-
The company was founded in 1927 by Remy Richard Pontvert, a shoemaker from the Voiron region of France, who acquired a pair of rubber-covered boots while staying in the United States.
Inspired by rubber boots, we came up with a shoe that uses natural latex as the sole material, which was imported directly from the port of Para in Brazil.
He named the brand he launched ``PARABOOT'' after the name of the export port.
Developed and patented a unique rubber synthesis method using pararubber as raw material.
In this way, we became the only shoe manufacturer in the world that manufactures rubber soles in-house.
Paraboots, which are sturdy, resistant to abrasion, and feature an original rubber sole that provides a comfortable fit, were popular among general workers, firefighters, mail carriers, and soldiers, and were accepted by the world as work shoes. .
In addition, it gained its status as an outdoor shoe as it was used by adventurers such as Arctic explorer Paul Emile Victor.
The Norwegian welt construction, which can be worn in all weather conditions, has become Paraboot's specialty, and along with the rubber sole, it has become a symbol of the brand.
The Norwegian welt manufacturing method is said to have originally been developed for mountain climbing shoes.
This manufacturing method requires approximately 150 steps and can make shoes more durable than the Goodyear welt method.
Currently, we have factories in Isault and Hulet, France, and approximately 70 people work at these two factories to produce shoes with rubber soles, Norwegian construction, or Goodyear construction.
In the spring/summer of 2005, we started producing "dress line" using box calfs from France's Dupuis, deck shoes and driving shoes made using the cause braque method, sandals and slip-ons made using the vulcanized method, and when all these categories are combined, A whopping 350,000 pairs of shoes are produced each year.
It is no exaggeration to say that Paraboots is a brand that symbolizes French shoes in terms of quality and quantity.
